This viral moment has reignited the ongoing debate about appropriate performances in public spaces.
In the age of social media, metro trains have become a hotspot for viral moments, and a recent video is igniting heated discussions online. The clip, shared by Saheli Rudra on Instagram, captures her dancing to the popular track “Aaj Ki Raat” from Tamannaah Bhatia's film Stree 2. While some viewers celebrated her spontaneity, others criticized her choice of venue, resulting in a mixed bag of reactions.
The video features Saheli dancing in the middle of a crowded metro coach, with the caption “On public demand.” As she grooves to the beat, onlookers display a range of reactions. While some passengers appear to enjoy the impromptu performance, others look visibly uncomfortable, highlighting the contrasting opinions about public displays of artistic expression.
The video quickly gained traction, amassing over 800,000 views in just three days. This surge in popularity led to a flood of comments, both supportive and critical. One viewer expressed disapproval, stating, “People are losing their sense of place; this is not the right spot for a dance performance.” Another user chimed in, “Not everyone is here for your entertainment. Be considerate of others.”
Conversely, many defended Saheli’s dance as a joyful expression of freedom. “She’s living her best life! Why not dance if it brings her joy?” one user commented, emphasizing the importance of self-expression. However, dissenting voices continued to voice concerns, with one remarking, “This is not a stage; it’s public transport. Some people are just trying to get to work.”
